The premises will house a franchise of national firm Escape Time, part of Sutton Coldfield-based Bartlett Leisure Limited, which already operates escape rooms in Sutton Coldfield and St Ives in Cornwall.

Challenges come in all shapes and sizes, like 'Trapped Up North' in Manchester. Illustrative image (Image: Manchester Evening News)

Escape rooms are interactive physical games where players are given tasks of figuring out a number of puzzles and riddles in order to get out of a locked room within a strict time limit.

The games often have themes, including zombies or Harry Potter.

The Burton location will house five games in total, and organisers have already revealed the first two.

Prison X will be similar to a game rolled out at the St Ives branch of Escape Time and will see challengers having to overcome a number of obstacles and puzzles to get out of a prison.

The second room will require visitors to hunt for gold in a western saloon.
